UMarilyn Maye wabelana ngemfihlo yakhe kubomi obonwabisayo kwiJazz eLincoln Centre

Ngaba isihloko senkosikazi yokuqala yengoma yaseMelika sithathiwe? Ukuba akunjalo, umgqatswa ofanelekileyo waloo moniker uya kuba nguMarilyn Maye-ugqirha wobugcisa obulahlekileyo. Uyakube eshiya amagqabantshintshi nge-classic-in-point kule mpelaveki-ye-27 kunye ne-28 ka-Okthobha-kwiJazz kwigumbi elihle le-Appel eLincoln.

Ndiyakuthanda ukusebenzela iJazz eLincoln Centre kuba kunjalo kwibhola, yatswina. Bona nyusa . Zombini ezandulelayo zibonisa ukuba zithengisiwe. Senza imiboniso emibini ngobusuku.

IsiXeko saseNew York asizange sive uMarilyn Maye exhaswa liqela lobukhulu obu ngaphambili. Lowo uqokelelene kwigumbi lakhe lokuqala iAppel Room unamandla ali-17 — ali-13 okanye ali-14 ngaphezulu kwesiqhelo ahlala esabelwe.

Eyona nto yayimenza alahlekise uMaye yayikuJohnny Carson; U-moonstruck ngomculo wakhe, wamgcina Umboniso wangokuhlwanje irekhodi elingamaxesha angama-76- kunye noMike Douglas ngokuhambelana nalo mboniso wakhe. Wayetyelele ngomculo indlela yakhe ngee-1950 kunye nee-60s zikamabonwakude.

Kodwa intliziyo yakhe kunye nobugcisa bakhe bobomntu owayesakuba ngumsasazi kamabonakude, uSteve Allen, owayekwiKlabhu yaseColony eKansas City, eMissouri, ngobunye ubusuku obuhle kwaye wafumanisa ukuba uMaye wayegcwele.

Akachithanga xesha wambeka kumdlalo wegama lakhe, kwaye iidomos zaqala kwangoko ukungena endaweni. Iirekhodi zeDot zibeke ibhidi ekhawulezayo, kodwa iRCA yabeka iDot ngamalungiselelo kaDon Costa kunye neokhestra epheleleyo. I-albhamu ka-1965 Dibana noMarilyn Maye omangalisayo yayiyintshayelelo yakhe ebantwini, kwaye wonke umntu wenza njalo. Oko kwalandelwa Okwesibini kweMaye , Nyathela ngasemva kwaye Ukutya kukaSherry .

Xa efika eNew York ukurekhoda iRCA, uMaye wenza inqaku lokubamba imihla yeklabhu. KwakuseGumbini lokuPhila apho wadibana noEd McMahon, kwaye uqhagamshelo lwaseCarson lwabethwa olwamgcina kwindawo ephambili ebaleni lakhe ixesha elithile.

Kodwa yayiqala 'i-60s xa yonke into yatshintsha, utshilo. Ndadlala indima engummangaliso-ke ngoko, ngequbuliso, yayiyi-Beatles kunye nerock 'n' roll, kwaye andizange ndibenalo ithuba. Ukuba bendirekhoda kwii-40s, ubomi bam ngebabuhlukile.

Iiklabhu zaseNew York zaqengqa iimethi zazo zokwamkela okanye zaphuma kwishishini, kwaye kangangeminyaka eli-16, uMaye wafumana ezinye iintlanzi ukuba zitshiswe-ikakhulu kunxweme oluseNtshona. Eyokugqibela endiyenzileyo apha yiMichael's Pub. Xa iakhawunti yeendleko zesigqeba iphelile, ngokunjalo neeklabhu.

Uyabhengeza i-NYC yakhe yesibini eza kumncedisi wakhe, uBilly Stritch. Ndamfumana xa wayeneminyaka eli-17 eTexas, yindlela ekude ebuyela emva, kwaye ndandiza kumphapha ndimsa apho ndandisebenza khona-iiveki ezimbini apha, iiveki ezintathu apho. Wayesenza umboniso kaJerry Herman, kwaye waxelela uDonald Smith ukuba ndenze into entle 'Ukuba Wangena Kubomi Bam,' kwaye uDon wathi, 'Masimngenise kwiNgqungquthela yeCabaret. Kwakungo-2005. Yayiluloyiso. Ndivale isiqingatha sokuqala ndavula esesibini. Kulapho uDon andibeke khona.

Ukubuya kukaMaye kwakuseJazz eLincoln Centre eRose Theatre, ezantsi nje kweholo ukusuka kwindawo yeekonsathi zakhe kule mpelaveki. Ukubuyela kwakhe ngokusemthethweni kwisekethe yaseNew York cabaret kwenzeka ngo-2006 xa wayevula kwigumbi leMetropolitan. Rex Reed kunye nabanye abagxeki babekhona ngamagqabi esundu ukutywina usaziwayo wakhe.

NjengoMarilyn Monroe, uMarilyn Maye McLaughlin wabizwa ngegama likaMarilyn Miller, enye yamantombazana azukisiweyo kaZiegfeld. UMaye waqala uqeqesho lwezwi eneminyaka elithoba, kwaye unabafundisi-ntsapho abaninzi kule minyaka ingamashumi asibhozo idlulileyo. Kwelinye ngokukhethekileyo-inenekazi elidala elineminqwazi ekhethiweyo egama linguRosamond Nyman — uMaye uza kwenza Guess Who I Saw Today? kuye, kodwa kananjalo-kuye wonke umntu ngokwenene kuba yeyona ngoma yam iceliweyo.

Yaziswa nguJuni Carroll kwi Ubuso obutsha bukaLeonard Sillman bowe-1952 Uqhutyelwe kwi-DNA yakho nguNancy Wilson, Guess Ngubani Ndimbonile Namhlanje? Ingoma yebali yomfazi ofumanisa ukuba umyeni wakhe uyaphamba, kwaye uMaye uyasusa kude kwiimvakalelo kude kubonakaliswe i-bastard. Ndicinga ukuba ungaguqula iingoma zenze iindima-into yobuqu onokuthi uyidlale. 'Ipesenti engamashumi amahlanu' yinkosikazi yendoda etshatileyo, inombulelo ngento enayo. 'Into epholileyo' yinenekazi elibonileyo iintsuku ezingcono, kwaye ndingathi, ubusuku obubhetele kakhulu, kodwa usazama ukubonakalisa kwaye, eneneni, uyaziqhatha.

Ngaphandle kotyalo mali aluzisayo kwinani ngalinye, ingoma ayibhalwanga enokuthi imenze ukuba aphile ngelixa esenza. Ndicinga ukuba kungenxa yokuba zininzi izinto ezahlukeneyo ngaphakathi Uqiqa ngelithi. Ndalila kakhulu ngaphandle kwiintsuku zam zokuqala-kunye nabayeni abathathu abanxila-ukuba andikhali kakhulu kwezi ntsuku. Imeko eyonwabisayo yemicimbi izisa ukuhleka okuluhlaza, okuhlekisayo.

Indoda eyinombolo yokuqala yayingumngcakazi oqeqeshiweyo. Oko akuzange kuhlale ixesha elide. Inombolo yesibini yayingumyeni odanisayo, kwaye sasine studio sokudanisa eKansas City iminyaka esithoba. Umyeni wakhe wesithathu wayengumdlali wepiyano-umdlali wepiano oyingqondi-kwaye kunye babedlala phambili kwiKlabhu yaseKansas yeColony Club. Unentombi ekhulileyo, eyomculo kakhulu, egcina ukubuyela kwakhe e-Kansas City phakathi kwe-gigs.

Ndikwanothando olunentsingiselo malunga neminyaka elishumi okanye njalo. Kwakukho uqhwithela olukhulu. Okokugqibela, ngobunye ubusuku kumdlalo we Carson, ndenza u'Ndizakusinda, 'kwaye emveni koko ndibize into yolo thando ndathi,' ndikwenzele into ekhethekileyo ngokuhlwanje. 'Siye sahlukana ngelo xesha. Ndathi, 'Ndifuna uqiniseke ngokubona umboniso weCarson.'

UMaye ukholelwa ngokuqinileyo ekuthetheni ngomculo. NjengoBarbara Cook, owaphumelela ngo-Agasti eneminyaka engama-89, uyakwazi ukukhupha i-lyric — akhame zonke iijusi ezikuyo aze azinike wena kuphela. Obu buqhetseba bukhokelela kwimisebenzi yesithathu ezukileyo.

Kuya kufuneka uphile ingoma. Kuya kufuneka ucinge ngale nto uyithethayo, ucula ntoni. Kukho uhambo lwe-ego ezinye iimvumi ezithathayo-ndizibiza ngokuba kukuzenzela-xa bexhoma kwigama elingabalulekanga kunye nenqaku elide ngokungeyomfuneko. Yintoni? Sihleli apho silinde inqaku elilandelayo. Ukuzonwabisa Mna . Kufuneka wonwabe Mna . Ndincame ixesha lam namandla am nemali yam ukukuva, ke ngumsebenzi wakho.

UMaye unokuba kukumkanikazi wokucula oqhelekileyo, ngaphandle kwe-cuff. Kuhle kwaye kulula, yindlela yakhe leyo. Ndingummeli onjalo wobudlelwane bobuhlobo obukhulayo kunye nabaphulaphuli. Mna qhagamshela nabo. Andibaculeli. Ndiyacula ukuya kubo. Andiculi ngaphezulu kweentloko zabo okanye kwi-balcony. Ndijonge emehlweni akho ndikuculele. Sinencoko.

Xa iiklabhu zasebusuku zithathe indawo yee-'60s, uMaye watyhala isipho sakhe sokudlala umculo ekuqhubeni umboniso wonke, ethatha uMame Dennis, uDolly Levi, Ngaba unakho I-Pistache kunye neentlobo ze-Sondheim Iifayile amantombazana asuka eSally aye eCarlotta (eyokugqibela inokuba isenokuba yingoma kaMaye uqobo, Ndiselapha). Umsebenzi wawunengxaki enye ye-saloon chanteuse: Ndidikwe kukucula iingoma ezifanayo busuku ngabunye.

Ngaphandle kokuba kubonakale kungenangqondo ukuxoxa ngobudala benenekazi, vumela irekhodi libonise ukuba uMaye uyazi ngokuchanekileyo ukuba uzakuba kuphi ngomhla we-10 ku-Epreli: ukubhiyozela iminyaka engama-90 yokuzalwa kwakhe ngokuvula iintsuku ezintandathu e-Feinstein's / 54 Apha ngezantsi. Ngunyaka wesithathu ndiyenzile lonto.

Njani uyayenza? usenokubuza ngokufanelekileyo. Hlala uqhubeka. Sukuthatha umhlala phantsi. Ndicinga ukuba ukufundisa kwam kulungile kum. Ukufundisa kubonakala ngathi kongeze ubukhulu kum.

Iminyaka, uMaye ebekho (ukucaphula umxholo obalulekileyo) enika iiklasi zeekhonsathi. Kule mihla, kwaye uninzi lweshumi leminyaka elidlulileyo, unika iiklasi eziphambili njenge iiklasi ze-master-ngaphandle kweeklabhu ezinjengezo Musa Ukuxelela uMama ngeentsasa zangoMgqibelo.

Ukongeza ekwabelaneni ngobuchule beencwadi zakhe kunye nokugxeka intetho, uMaye unesandla ekuhlanganiseni, ekucwangciseni nasekulawuleni izenzo ze-cabaret. Yena kunye nomfundi omnye weenkwenkwezi bahlanganisa umboniso weengoma ezilishumi kwishumi. Ndayithiya i1950s, nditshata noMaye. Thixo! Kwakunzima! I-‘50s kunzima ukuyifumana, kodwa le intsha ibiyimincili. I-70s iyayithanda loo nto. ‘Ukuhlala uphila, uhlala uphila.’ Intle kakhulu.

UMarilyn Maye ucula ngalo mzuzu ngendlela enza ngayo uMeryl Streep noCate Blanchett ngalo mzuzu-iyinyani, kwaye yeyakho wedwa- ke ayothusi into yokuba Nantsi uBomi kwaye Imfihlo kaJames Taylor yeengoma ziingoma ezimnika ulonwabo olukhulu cula. Yifilosofi enkulu kangako-ukuhlala ngalo mzuzu. Yinto endikholelwa kuyo, ukuxabisa yonke imihla yobomi bakho. Ndiyakuthanda ukuvala imiboniso 'ngemfihlo yoBomi,' ishiya abaphulaphuli 'Imfihlo yobomi bonwabele ukuhamba kwexesha. Nasiphi na isidenge sinokuyenza, akukho nto iyenzayo. ’Kwaye uMarilyn Maye uyenza ngcono kunaye nabani na.
